    Maybe, oh, just build public housing at scale instead of relying on a patchwork of underfunded and undergoverned agencies and P3 initiatives?

        Better off burning more cash to pay cops overtime to clear a homeless camp. It’s not like the homeless can just come back. /s

          Yup, am a Canadian, can confirm.

          We stopped building public housing in the 1990s, because we were all told that “the market” would provide. Well, the market provided. For real estate developers and house-traders.
